Or you can still use the clip as a groove clip, but turn off "Follow Project Pitch" and "Enable Stretching" in the Loop Construction View so the original sound is not modified.

With Groove Looping activated "Enable Stretching" is not available as an option (greyed out) and "Follow Project Pitch" has no effect on the length of the clip. When you say the original file remains unmodified, have you actually tested and confirmed this before advising? It doesn't work for me.

Sorry to say, no. I referred to the manual, which as it turns out doesn't quite resemble the program (X1D exp) with regard to the loop construction view. Unlike a different program I was thinking of, enabling looping and enabling stretching are mutually exclusive in Sonar. So no, there doesn't seem to be a convenient way to replicate clips by dragging the ends except with loop resampling, which virtually always does time modification.

well it seems i will just be stuck using some more creative workarounds or other programs until cake decides to address this.

I don't think drag-copying 30 copies of a clip is quicker than choosing paste and adding Repetitions. Also keep in mind if a clip is not exactly a measure/measures in length then it gets trickier to "snap" the clips together, something that my suggested approach deals with. Just a thought. 

you copy paste or hold control to drag ?
same thing.
after copying several clips,lasso and bounce to clips and then copy a large segment.
 
see your saying copy paste/move your cursor,copy/paste..move your cursor,copy/paste.
what am i missing that holding down control isnt faster,you save the right click move and the extra paste move.

Hey Charlie. No, what I'm saying is NOT copy, paste, copy, paste, move cursor etc.. Read post #3 again. Open the Paste dialog box and notice there is an option for "Repetitions". With one single paste operation you can paste as many copies as you want. One copy, one paste, finished.
